Articles made with a follow-up with Gnus seem to thread, articles created with a reply in RMAIL seem to thread. Articles made with a reply with Mew seem to thread. Articles made with a reply with mh-e doesn't thread. Ditto for exmh. I've created a replcomps file that gives me In-reply-to headers and References headers. At the start, I *think* I got these to thread, but then they suddenly stopped threading. But all of this may be caused by erronous headers. So here comes the mysterious part: I have two articles. One made by RMAIL (the one from Trond Kristiansen), one made by mh-e (the one from me). I've tried hand editing the one from me, to see if I could get it to thread, and I've been unsuccessful in doing so. I've done the testing by editing, then starting a new emacs, then killing all Gnus buffers and exiting emacs, answering "yes" on the "unsaved buffers exits, do you really...etc.". Then editing, and starting a new emacs, answering "n" on the offer to use auto save file (even when I've deleted "#.newsrc-dribble" it displays this prompt). So here are the two headers. As near as I can see, all headers that should be relevant for threading are identical. But one thread and the other doesn't. This isn't like, important. But it really *bugs* me not knowing *why* this happens...:-( Is the information about the threading cached in some obscure place? I've tried stripped everything relating to this mailing list out of .newsrc.eld (without finding anything, when I refused the offer to save).
